A controversial statement attributed to the commander of the Ukrainian Volunteer Army has circulated online. The commander allegedly referred to Poles as "corrupt" while commenting on Volodymyr Zelenskyy receiving the Order of the White Eagle. This claim was shared by journalist Diana Panchenko, who has been accused of spreading Kremlin propaganda. However, it appears the words were manipulated to suggest an insult toward all Polish people. In reality, the commander's remarks were directed specifically at politicians. Despite the lack of context, the manipulated quote was widely promoted by members of the Polish right wing. The incident highlights the rapid spread of misinformation within political circles.
